The sochi2014.ru terms of use does not prohibit the use of robots/crawlers/scrapers.

But, they prohibit the copy of the content from the website, no matter the way you did it. Point 5.2:

"Except as expressly stated on the Website, you are not entitled to copy, publish, download, modify and redistribute the information provided on the Website without the prior written consent of the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee."

IANAL, but that sounds either like you can't do all of those things together (the "and" conjunction), or you can't even read the website. After all, if you can't download it, you can't view it.
